"The reality on the ground is this: Israel is doing what every democracy would do when faced with similar attacks: fighting back to eradicate the responsible groups. But from a global perspective, Israel is just the tip of the spear in a wider conflict with an increasingly nihilistic and technologically sophisticated network of radical Islamists... What do you think happens next? The first quarter of this century has made it clear: democracies under attack from terrorists are well within their rights to vehemently fight back. The court's ruling—if taken seriously—risks squandering these hard-fought lessons in the service of a dangerous joke. This can only lead to one outcome: the normalization of terror and the criminalization of democratic responses to it. In the meantime, Israel will rightly refuse to fall on its sword for the sake of a broken set of international legal authorities more interested in power and posturing rather than facts and values." https://t.co/C4ZVqmqpxA
